If the third shape on the first page in the active publication is a connector whose beginning is connected to a shape, this example stores the connection site number, stores a reference to the connected shape, and then disconnects the beginning of the connector from the shape.

Dim intSite As Integer
Dim shpConnected As Shape

With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes(3)

    ' Test whether shape is a connector.
    If .Connector Then
        With .ConnectorFormat

            ' Test whether connector is connected to another shape.
            If .BeginConnected Then

                ' Store connection site number.
                intSite = .BeginConnectionSite

                ' Set reference to connected shape.
                Set shpConnected = .BeginConnectedShape

                ' Disconnect connector and shape.
                .BeginDisconnect
